Life inside the camps isn't easy for kids. I spent a day with a 12-year-old girl called Mercy. She told me how they get three meals a day, but sometimes have to queue for up to two hours a day in the scorching heat to get them.

And she showed me the room where she sleeps every night on a hard concrete floor, crammed in along with dozens of other people.

But she and the other children I met were really happy that they were being looked after. They spent a lot of time playing with the other children there. Games like football and skipping were the most popular.

More violence

Many people didn't have time to stop for any of their belongings when they left their homes. But thanks to charities and aid organisations they're given essential things like clothes and blankets.

Some of the children I met were hopeful about Kenya's future. But others believed that although things have calmed down in the past few days, more violence in the country is unavoidable."
